Photo Fakery

Join digital art collective Compiler for a workshop exploring layers of reality and non-reality in digital photography.

Create dreamscape collages using digital effects associated with truth, verification and memory, including AI-powered depth-of-field simulation and point-cloud aesthetics. As digital photographs are in many ways becoming further from reality, find out what alternative representations we can create using a custom-built digital tool. Together, we will be considering the value of AI tools when repurposed for specific contexts and tasks that you decide on, rather than as broad, all-encompassing cloud-based options.

Everyone’s creations will contribute to a collaborative online gallery and will be exhibited as part of the Peckham Digital Festival.
